4. AUL Report - Sewell

R. Sewell discussed the library collection budget. In 2010, there was a 6.1% reduction in the state

expenditure in broad subject category was 60% on STEM subjects, 16% on social sciences, 13% on
general/reference, and 11% on arts & humanities. The total spending on all binding processes has
decreased 22% since 2006.

The committee heartily thanked R. Sewell for his service on LRC. Sewell has served as collection
development associate university librarian for 21 years and as chair of the various collection
development committees/councils for 19 years.
